The UK-led Beagle-2 Mars lander, which hitched a ride on ESA’s Mars
Express mission and was lost on Mars since 2003, has been found in images taken
by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This animated gif cycles through three
images of the landing site targets: the Beagle-2 lander and its parachute and
rear cover. The images show changes due to differences in Sun angle and the
time the images were taken.
